I pulled the valve covers off of my engine today. The ones on the rear cyl of the drivers side were brownish blue. They are the 1.73s and are blue in color. I thought I was not getting oil or something along those lines but then I pulled off the pass side cover and had two there that were also the same color. These were the intake on cyl 1 and the exhause on cyl 2. They are free spinning and there is no spalling or anything that would show that there is a binding or even a lack of oil as the roller spins and the fulcrum locks spin. There is oil in the pockets of it (I have not started it since 05) but I did not have time to take them off. I am going to spin the pump and see if they are getting oil, but if they are, anyone have an idea about what the heck is causing the discoloration?
